The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known 'that I, D. E. CROSBY, of South Vineland, in the county-of Cumberland, and State of New. Jersey, have invented a new and improved Ironing- Board; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part ofthis specification.

This invention relates to a new and useful improveinept in ironing-boards for laundry-use; and consists in sd constructing the board that itmay be adjusted to any ordinaryttable and it alsoconsists in attach. ing an additional ironing-board to the main board, as hereinafter described.

In the accompanying drawing- Figure represents a sectional side elevation ot' a table with my ironing-board attached as when in' use.

Figure is a view of the under side of the ironingboard with the additional board attached.

Similar letters of retin-ence indicate corresponding parts. a

A is thetable.

B is the main ironing-board, which is made of sufficient length to extend across the table and project over far enough to form an ironing-surace, as seen at C..-

D is a metallic hook, on the under side ofthe board,

'which hooks under the tablet-top, as seen-iu the drawlel plates, h, secured to the bottom side of the board,

as seen in the drawing.

The slide is rebated, or forms a hook or1ip,1, which is passed under the projecting edge of the table, as seen in fig. l, when the board is fastened to the table by turning up the thumb-nut J.

K is a small ironing-board, attached to the main board B by the screw L, so that it maybe turned entirel y under out of the way, or turned out for use in ironing sleeves or other small articles. In the latter position it is seen in the drawing.

The upper corner of the main hoard is rehated, as seen at n, for facilitating the nailing ou of cloth over the board.

It'will be seen that this board is readilyadjusted That lI claim as new, and desire to secure by Let-` ters Patent,iis-
